So to finish off a Friday night, another DVD, also with Ewan McGregor, this time "Young Adam." Now, there was no character named Adam, and I'm a bit undone by not being able to figure out why this was the title. But I'll research it a bit.

Also another fabulous tune, by David Byrne. The Great Western Road. I adore David Byrne. I loved "True Stories" and not just because I lived awhile in Texas. The soundtrack was perfect. If you haven't seen the film, I recommend it.

'tis strange I should be old and neither wise nor valiant. From "The Maid's Tragedy" by Beaumont & Fletcher
